ORIGIN

This 1983 Chevrolet El Camino was first sold in Southern California and has reportedly stayed with its original owner from new. Power is from a 305ci V8 paired with a 3-speed automatic transmission and alterations include a 1990s repaint, Cragar SS wheels, and an aftermarket exhaust. Four new tires were installed and the oil and filter were changed in preparation for sale. This El Camino is being offered by the seller on behalf of its original owner with a clean California title.

The car was repainted during the 1990s according to the seller, who describes the finish as driver-quality with a few touch-ups and chips on forward-facing surfaces. The exterior is shown up close from multiple angles in the gallery below.

Chrome 15″ Cragar SS wheels were mounted with four new BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires just prior to the auction. According to the seller a recent brake job included fitment of new rear drums.

The bed displays a variety of chips and smaller flaws, and is further detailed in the gallery. The rubber trim on both bumpers is noted as showing its age.

The cabin is finished in blue vinyl with matching trim and carpets, and retains a period Delco AM/FM radio. Flaws consist of dash cracks and wear in the driver’s footwell. Paint chips and oxidization in the door jambs are highlighted in the gallery.

The dome light, convenience light, radio, and heater are said to remain functional, while the air conditioning system has been converted to R134a and was recently charged. The 5-digit odometer shows just over 3,200 miles, and has rolled over at least once.

The 305ci V8 sends power to the rear wheels through a 3-speed automatic transmission. An oil and filter change was recently completed, and the seller believes an aftermarket exhaust to be present. Service records are unavailable according to the seller.

Additional photos are provided in the gallery to show the condition of the frame rails and other underside components.
